My Morning Jacket

When: Fri., April 30, 7 p.m. 2010Price: $5–$35

My Morning Jacket's rise from, in 2001, a Kentucky band making fascinating but unfocused rock records to, in 2010, one of the most adventurous, celebrated and popular bands in America is certainly one of the last decade's great music tales. What's more, My Morning Jacket achieved their success in the antediluvian, old-industry way that befits their arching rock roar: They signed to a major label, made better and better records and perfected one of the most well-orchestrated, engaging stage shows on the road today. Along the way, the band's doubled as film stars, production aces, symphony collaborators and festival favorites. This generation's quintessential new old rock band returns to the Triangle for the first time since its Cat's Cradle days. —Grayson Currin
